I'm on my bi-anual aerial photography research kick again the concept of a drone is just so appealing, but also has so many drawbacks for use under sail that it's still hard for me to justify. I see a couple drones on the market now that even I might justify financially, but the logistics of using one under sail are still pretty daunting to me. The KAP system still looks interesting also, and seems to minimise a lot of the problems associated with drones like launching and landing under sail etc., but by the time one buys a kite, camera, 3 axis gimbal, electronics, etc, it's as much or more than a high end drone. huummmm. I'm interested in any ideas from those who came before me on this.
I do have an interesting idea of my own in mind, but during my research I ran across this old video and just had to share in the meantime. it was obviously made with low tech electronics, but also inspiring in so many ways, even beyond the actual KAP. enjoy:
